"The third room of the Yellow House. The earth fire inside is just right for Qi Refining cultivators. Remember to prepare some Qi-recovering pills."
Thinking about Zhang Jiao's instructions, Jiang Yun took the token and came to the alchemy room area of the Huangzihao. Some of the alchemy rooms here had their doors closed, while others had their doors open but no one was using them.
Jiang Yun walked into the third room, closed the door, and carefully checked the surroundings to make sure there were no shadow stones. Then he took out a few jade boxes from his storage bag and placed the Qingling grass, which was just over a hundred years old, inside. This was the main ingredient for refining the three elixirs.
"Qingling Grass, Jade Bone Flower, Red Jade Ginseng."
Jiang Yun put the three refined herbs in order, took out the Ziyang Furnace from his storage bag, and placed it on the underground fire outlet.
As soon as his mana was injected, a burst of flames erupted from the ground. Jiang Yun first adjusted the intensity of the fire, adjusting it according to his own mana. No wonder Zhang Jiao had asked him to prepare Qi-restoring elixirs.
Jiang Yun took out the Guiyuan Pill from his storage bag, put it in his mouth, and then began the first step of refining the medicinal materials.
"Oh no! The fire is too strong,"
"Speechless, it's small again."
After failing several times in a row, Jiang Yun finally mastered the simple process of refining medicinal herbs.
After all the medicines have been tempered, the next step is to start refining according to the specified temperature.
This was also the second level for a novice alchemist. Jiang Yun adjusted his mana input step by step, and his innate purple energy was under extremely skilled control. At this level, Jiang Yun progressed very smoothly.
"Finally, we've reached the last step!"
Jiang Yun, who had gone smoothly in the second step, finally came to the last and most critical step, collecting the pill.
Collecting the elixir is the core of the entire alchemy process, not simply using magic power to grab the elixir.
Jiang Yun opened the lid of the furnace and slapped it. Suddenly, more than a dozen round pills were shaken into the air.
Unfortunately, his force was a bit too strong, and more than half of them were shattered and dissipated into debris. The remaining few began to spin in mid-air.
"Purple Spirit Pill Capture Technique! Collect,"
Jiang Yun used the alchemy techniques from the Zixiao Xuanlu. The purple energy in his body flowed out from his fingers and formed a small net bag. He immediately caught the pill spinning in the air.
Suddenly, a fragrance of elixir wafted over.
"It's done!" Jiang Yun exclaimed, having never expected the final step to go so smoothly. He knew many alchemists were stuck on the final step, collecting the pill. Little did Jiang Yun know that his true understanding of alchemy was a skill that far surpassed other alchemists by a wide margin. His method for collecting the pill was unparalleled.
Jiang Yun quickly looked at the five pills in his hand. While they were still a far cry from the dozen or so pills most alchemists could create at once, each one was perfectly round, gleaming with a jade-white sheen. They were exactly the Jade Spirit Pills described in the recipe. Judging by their roundness, they were indeed top-grade.
"Great!" Jiang Yun was extremely excited. With a thought, the proficiency panel suddenly appeared in front of him.

【Year Point: 65】
"Getting started is really not easy." Jiang Yun calculated that he had failed at least 17 times. He used 100-year-old Qingling Grass for 5 Spirit Stones and 1 Spirit Sand as auxiliary medicine. Yet, he only produced 5 pills, exactly half of a bottle of 10 pills. A bottle of Yuling Pills cost 15 Spirit Stones.
“It’s really a money-burning business, and the success rate in the early stages is too low.”
Jiang Yun's mind raced, and his Jade Spirit Pill proficiency, originally at 1, instantly shot up to 50. At the same time, the various details of alchemy flashed through his mind. His confidence surged, and he was confident he could successfully refine the next batch.
"continue!"
Three days later, Zhang Jiao, who was a little impatient, finally saw the door of the alchemy room open.
"Oh, Junior Brother Jiang, if you don't come out I'll break in."
"I'm sorry to have made Senior Brother Zhang worried."
"How was it? Was it successful?"
"Oh, it's hard to explain. Alchemy really is expensive."
"It's okay. Practice makes perfect. Just practice more, Junior Brother Jiang. If you are interested in alchemy, you can enter the Spiritual Alchemy Hall after entering the inner sect."
Zhang Jiao took Jiang Yun's hand and said enthusiastically.
"Okay, I'll think about it. I've been refining pills non-stop for the past three days, so I'm going back to rest."
"Okay, Junior Brother, take the token first. You can come and use the alchemy room anytime in the future."
Jiang Yun said goodbye to Zhang Jiao, but he was very excited. Three days of non-stop alchemy had indeed exhausted him physically and mentally, but the pills in the storage bag were not for decoration.
He succeeded once in almost 20 attempts the first time, but now succeeded only three times in the last 10 attempts. This basically brought him to the level of an average alchemist. His Jade Spirit Pill refining proficiency also rose from entry-level 50 to mastery 106.
